Researchers Seek A Mysterious Culprit In The Obesity Epidemic

Well, here is a waste of time, resources and effort.

So, why are we fat? And getting fatter? Most people would say it's simple: We eat too much and exercise too little. But University of Alabama at Birmingham obesity researcher David B. Allison, Ph.D., says that answer, while valid, may be a little too simple. Allison and colleagues think the more relevant question is this: Why do we eat too much and expend too little energy? And like good detectives, they've set out to identify a suspect, or suspects, that may be contributing to the obesity epidemic. The game, as they say, is afoot.

The only thing simple here is the researcher.

Better to figure out why people, including this researcher, are getting stupider.

By the way, it is no more complex than more Calories in than out.

As to the "Why do we eat too much and expend too little energy?" try the lazy, fat slobs answer.

You will find it to be correct more often than not.
